Module documentation for 0.5.13.3

Parser for JavaScript

Two Versions

0.5 series : Is a continuation of the 0.5.X.Y series, from the [master]
(https://github.com/erikd/language-javascript/tree/master) branch of this
github repository.

0.6 series : This has a vastly different and improved AST which makes if far
more difficult to build an non-sensical Javascript AST. This code is in the
new-ast branch of
this github repository.

How to build

Library:

cabal clean && cabal configure && cabal build

Tests:

cabal clean && cabal configure -fbuildtests && cabal build

Running the tests

./dist/build/runtests/runtests

To debug the grammar

happy -iparse.txt -g -a -d src/Language/JavaScript/Parser/Grammar5.y

This generates src/Language/JavaScript/Parser/Grammar5.hs, delete this
when done with the debug version

UTF8/Unicode version

Alex 3.0 now supports unicode natively, and has been included as a
dependency in the cabal file.

Note: The generation of the lexical analyser has been separated out,
to remove the install-time dependency on Alex. If any changes
need to be made to the lexer, the Lexer.x source lies in
src-dev, and the runalex.sh script will invoke Alex with the
appropriate directories.
